I'd like to start off by saying hi im new to this forum and this in my first bike other than dirt bikes and i figured i would start off right get an older bike and fix her up and get the feel of a road bike. right now im painting her i started with the side covers to see what would look best. i have a gloss black for the primary and for the emblems they are dark blue with silver accent i think i am going to put that silver pin striping around the side cover like the stock look was. and this is what it looked like before tell me what you think or what might look bettor.

black and silver looks really nice on that side cover. well done.
I dont see the blue tho.

[Ice7891]

its midnight blue and is hard to see except in the sun..... it is the base color of the emblem right behind the silver.
